We had 2 more treks at the UNESCO heritage site "Bwindi Impenetrable National Park", where it is known for the tough terrain as its name suggests.

In order to reach the Nkuringo group of mountain gorillas, we endured a hike on a rocky mountainous and unpaved road prior to entering the park, crossed a stream and hiked up through a thick forest. Initially we witnessed 2 massive mountain gorillas playing in the bush; a blackback chasing the No. 2 silverback down the hill toward us. Our guide said it was a rare event to witness as not many blackbacks would be able to entice a silverback to play.

After a while, we left those 2 hulks to burn their testosterone, and we carried on looking for the rest of the group. The family is known for their friendliness as they are one of the first habituated gorilla groups at Bwindi. We saw a few members of the group scattered around in the thick forest, then the dominant silverback, Rafiki, led them to feed on something nestled on the fallen tree. It was like a buffet hat lasted for almost the entire hour of our visit, with the gorillas feeding in sequence in order of seniority. This young gorilla was resting on the tree they were feeding on earlier. I guess he was induced into a food coma!

It was the muddiest day of my life in the wilderness. We walked almost 6 hours and only covered 8km. The trail was fresh which mean our guides and trackers had to create a path with a machete. The path was narrow, muddy and somewhat steep. I must say that the trek today was certainly a challenge. The highest point we reached was 2,800m and the total ascent was only 200m. Yes the altitude hit me. I found it hard to breathe at times.

Once we arrived at the stop point, where we geared up with nothing but cameras, we marched off deeper into the open where members of the Amahoro group were spending their morning. They were deep in very thick and tall bushes of stinging nettle. After a period of bright and harsh sunlight, the rain came. I loved this so much as you can see how beautiful they are under the rain.

We literally walked into their habitat where the family members of the Kwitonda group scattered around in thick forest; eating, lounging, playing and simply just being very much like us, humans.

Kwitonda (meaning 'humble') is the name of the very first group of mountain gorillas we tracked and it is also the name of the late dominant silverback that passed away a few years ago at the age of 40. Now there are 2 silverbacks in Kwitonda among the other 27 members.

I first saw a few pairs of mothers and babies and this guy, a very cute blackback. I couldn't take my eyes off his pretty face until the dominant silverback, Karevuro arrived.
